Connecting Other Components
• Before making any connections, read the manuals
supplied with your other components.
• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed
and double-checked all connections.
Connection Color Coding
RCA-type audio connections are usually color-coded:
red and white. Use red plugs to connect right-channel
audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”). Use
white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and out-
puts (typically labeled “L”).
• Push plugs in all the way to make
good connections (loose connec-
tions can cause noise or malfunc-
tions).
• To prevent interference, keep
audio cables away from power
cords and speaker cables.
Optical Digital
Jack (CR-515DAB)
The CD receiver’s optical digital jack has a shutter-type
cover that opens when an optical plug is inserted and
closes when it’s removed. Push the plug in all the way.
Caution:
To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical
plug straight when inserting and removing.
Note:
Do not put anything on top of the CD receiver, as it may
interfere with proper ventilation.
No connecting cables are included with the CD receiver.
The CD receiver has a SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack for connecting a powered subwoofer (i.e., a subwoofer with a
built-in amplifier).
